About
Artist Tom Talbot
Vibrant colors and muted
shades; multitudes of textures so visible you want to run
your fingers over them; standing at several distances to ensure you don’t miss any
detail, and knowing that when you take in this vision-in-oil as a whole, you will be
reminded of a wonderful
place you saw ‘somewhere’.
Tom Talbot and his wife Ginger
chose Aiken for its beauty and charm as their home
in 1999. Although Tom
is still painting and traveling to galleries for shows, he claims
that he has retired. Both
Tom and Ginger were born and raised in Nebraska and
have made their home in the
American Southwest, including Santa Fe, New Mexico,
and Prescott, Arizona.
The Talbots have an adventurous side that has lent itself to
extensive travel over the years throughout the United
States and in Europe, North
Africa,
the Orient, Canada,
and Mexico.
Tom began studying art in 1954
at the University of Nebraska
in Lincoln. He
is a
graduate of the American Academy
of Art in Chicago.
He realized, after working
as a commercial artist and art director, that his love of painting was pure and free
flowing, not a commodity to
be produced ‘on demand’. He later studied at the Art
Students League of NYC in Madison, Connecticut
with Robert Brackman, and at
the Bellas Artes, San Miguel
de Allende in Mexico.
Tom has been affiliated with
galleries internationally and across the United
States.
His work is also displayed in
private and institutional collections throughout the
United
States and in England,
Germany,
Holland, Switzerland,
Italy,
Nigeria,
Japan,
Mexico
and Canada.
Thank you Tom!
